A year ago........

• A year ago today I had just talked to Dr. Rivera and Dr. Lynn (love and miss them) and they told me the best news ever. My baby girls were coming home.
• A year ago today was my last day at EduCare and had to tell my wonderful family of co-workers goodbye.
• A year ago today Jeremy asked to take a few days off of work to bring his baby girls home from 3 months in the NICU.
• A year ago today I was at Babies R Us buying the last two cases of formula and grabbing bottles.
• A year ago today I was packing my bag and Jeremy's to go spend the night in the NICU. I have never been SO EXCITED to stay in the hospital.
• A year ago today I made tons of phone calls and emails to tell EVERYONE my baby girls are coming home.
• A year ago today I was making plans with Katy Ridgeway to come take pictures of my babies coming home. And Saundra Johnson was so sweet and watched Luke so Katy could help us.
  
• A year ago today I took Heidi to the groomers so she would be all clean and shinny to meet her new friends.
• A year ago today I scrubbed my house from top to bottom. It was gleaming!
• A year ago today I made sure the car was clean and car seats were installed already for my little princesses.
• A year ago today I got to actually pack the diaper bag and place it in the car for the first time.
• A year ago today I took infant CPR and Apnea monitor training.
• A year ago today I helped one of our NICU nurses, Sara, take all the monitors off of the girls and prepare to wheel them out of the NICU bay.
• A year ago today I walked along side the girls crib as we walked down the hall of the NICU to the room-in suite. Pure joy and elation!
  
• A year ago today I got us all unpacked and ready for our first night with the girls.
• A year ago today I had my first night of every three hour feedings and trying to keep babies awake to eat.
• A year ago tomorrow I got up and got my baby girls bathed and dressed for their first trip home.
• A year ago tomorrow I said good bye to a hand full of the best nurse and our family at St. David's. ( I miss all of you so much)
• A year ago tomorrow Jeremy and I carried our baby girls out of the hospital. There are not any words that can even begin to describe that feeling.
  
• A year ago tomorrow we oh so gently strapped them in their seats and drove away from St. David's.
• A year ago tomorrow my baby girls came home for the first time after 105 days in the NICU.

I can not believe it has been a year. I think this is harder for me than their birthday. I look back at all of the older post from last year (starting with this one) and I it seems like yesterday. How fast time goes. I wish I could record every minute and watch it over and over. How much they have changed and what precious little personalities they have. To say God has blessed us doesn't even seem to cover it.

To everyone that helped us through this year and anyway, shape or form............

We are truly grateful to have you in our lives. Thank you!
